What is the connection between a metaloid and a semiconductor
The connection between a metalloid and a semiconductor is that metalloids are used in electronics as semiconductors. A semiconductor doesn't conduct electricity as well as a metal, but does conduct electricity better than a nonmetal.
Silicon
Some metalloids can function as semiconductors.
Metalloid is not equivalent to semiconductor !
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
Boron is a metalloid
comparsion table between semiconductor,conductorand insulator
semiconductor is intermediate between conductor and non conductor of electricity
Arsenic is usually classified as a metalloid. The chemistry of arsenic is predominately nonmetallic but it shows less anionic behavior than ordinary nonmetals. Liquid arsenic is a semiconductor. It can form many metal alloys but most of them are brittle.
A Metalloid Is An Element Which Has Intermediate Properties Between Metals & Nonmetals ;)A product made of or to do with metal.A metalloid can have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Some examples of metalloids are Boron, Silicon, Germanium and Arsenic.
Antimony and arsenicÊbelong to the category of metalloid. A metalloid is an element whose properties are between that of a metal and a non-metal solid.
Silicon is a metalloid, which is a mix between metal and a non-metal.
